It pairs a manually wound central tourbillon with a Grade 5 titanium case and a dial the brand describes as carved from Everest bedrock. Published specifications include a 120-hour power reserve; price and availability depend on the market.
What is new about the Everest Summit?
The Everest Summit is a 2025 addition to CIGA Design’s Everest-themed central-tourbillon line, not the separate Everest 70th Anniversary edition or an earlier Everest Central Tourbillon reference. CIGA’s archived launch email dates the Summit’s launch to October 29, 2025. CIGA Design’s launch email, archived by Milled, frames it as a new Everest-themed watch; its phrase “Today, the peak becomes time itself” is brand launch copy, not a named-person quotation.
Movement and published specifications
CIGA Design’s official Luxembourg product listing describes a self-developed, manually wound CD-05 central tourbillon movement with a stated 120-hour power reserve. Fratello’s October 24, 2025 report adds the published specifications below; these are reported figures, not independent measurements.

Case, dial and strap
Fratello lists the Grade 5 titanium case at 45 mm in diameter and 11.65 mm thick. CIGA Design describes the dial as carved from genuine Everest bedrock and the hands as inspired by ice axes; the official product page also specifies Swiss Super-LumiNova, sapphire crystal and a 22 mm fluororubber strap. The Everest imagery is central to the design, while the case dimensions are worth checking against your own fit preferences before buying.
How much does it cost, and where is it available?
Fratello reported a US$2,699 price on October 24, 2025. That is a dated reported price, not a universal current price. CIGA Design’s official page is localized to Luxembourg and can display a different USD-denominated price; its displayed currency should not be mistaken for a price applying in every country. The checked page offered an add-to-cart option, which does not establish stock or availability elsewhere. Check the official storefront for your market at the time of purchase.

How it relates to the Everest 70th Anniversary edition
CIGA Design’s Mexico regional listing compares the Summit with the Everest 70th Anniversary edition and shows differences in case size and water-resistance rating. Those figures are specific to that regional listing, so they should not be generalized to every market. The models are distinct; verify the specifications and availability on the official pages for the country where you intend to buy. CIGA Design México’s regional listing provides that market’s comparison.
